\"\"Tell us a little bit about yourself.<\/em>
\nI have been with UVA Physicians Group for a little over a year now. I started out in the Insurance Processing Unit at Lewis & Clark as a Special Payor Analyst and am now a Coding and Billing Specialist for the Department of Medicine. I started my healthcare career as a CNA\/Health Unit Coordinator at UVA Hospital for four years before I found my forever career with coding.<\/p>\n

I have a Siamese cat named Skippyjon Jones and an orange tabby named Weasley. Our favorite time of year is autumn because I like the crisp, cool air and they like chasing the falling leaves.<\/p>\n

Favorite vacation\/activity spot?<\/em>
\nIreland! I am of Irish heritage so when I had the opportunity to visit in 2017, I was instantly enchanted and fell in love with everything about it. I especially enjoyed riding from village to village and watching the sheep own the fields, roads, and any other place they wanted to graze.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"What are you usually doing on the weekend?<\/em>
\nIf I am not pet sitting, I am enjoying time with my friends and family. I like going to the movies and trying new restaurants. I also like sleeping in, but the cats are up and ready to be fed at the crack of dawn.<\/p>\n

Best advice anyone ever gave you?<\/em>
\nMy mother & father are always reminding me to see the glass as being half-full, not half-empty. It is usually best to seek out the good in people and situations; I have learned that it will get you far.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
